New Slideshow Plugin

Sylvia Bass — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 20:17:34 +0000

Notice anything different when editing a Post or Page? Right next to the Add Media button is a new button called Insert Slideshow.

This new tool makes it easy to create multiple slideshows that can be inserted into Posts, Pages and even Widget areas.

The Slideshow tool has many settings to help you create the slideshow you want. If you know CSS, you can even adjust the styles to customize it even more.

See our new Slideshow Help Document for more details.

Note: This plugin is replaces Portfolio Slideshow, which has been deprecated. If you have created slideshows using Portfolio Slideshow, they will still work for now. However, we recommend creating new ones using this tool. It’s easier, more flexible, and more powerful.

New Image Widget

Adding an image to a widget area just got easier. In the past, you had to use a Text Widget and add the HTML code to insert an image. Now, you can simply drag the Image Widget to the desired widget area of your theme and add the image using the built in Add Media tools.

See the Image Widget Help Document for detailed instructions.

Advanced Feature – Custom CSS

Sylvia Bass — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 23:23:03 +0000

Have you ever wanted to customize the look of theme you are using on Faculty Websites? Some of the themes have this capability built in, but not all do. On Faculty Websites we share the same themes for all of the sites, so editing the themes is not possible like it is on a stand-alone version of WordPress.

We’ve just installed and enabled a new plugin that allows you to add your own custom Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) into any theme. This does require knowing CSS and understanding how to change styles to suit your need. These changes will only affect your site and add an extra CSS file.

To edit CSS go to Settings > Custom CSS Manager.

For more information, see the Custom CSS help page.
